The Big Night Game
This painting of Kinnick Stadium is of the famous night game on Nov. 8, 2008 when the Hawkeyes and Coach Ferentz had a last second win over the Nittany Lions, lead by Coach Joe Paterno.
Included in this painting: the new Paul W. Brechler press box, “the kick” from the 21 yard line by Daniel Murray (#1) in the last second of the game, ball holder Ryan Donahue (#5), the Hawkeye fans were a “black out crowd” while the students have a “green out” to show support for Shonn Greene for the Heisman Trophy bid, the new turf (which was not installed until the following summer, but is included because it is so vivid and beautiful). Bump Elliott is in the press box.
The game was televised nationally. It was cold with NW wind, wind chill dipping into the 20s. It was a beautiful night and we all remembered how great it is to be a Hawkeye.
